Subject: [PATCH] x86: math-emu: hide clang warnings for 16-bit overflow

clang warns about a few parts of the math-emu implementation
where a 16-bit integer becomes negative during assignment:

arch/x86/math-emu/poly_tan.c:88:35: error: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'short' changes value from 49216 to -16320 [-Werror,-Wconstant-conversion]

The code seems correct to me, so add a typecast to shut up the warnings.
